Polls show 90% of Americans want the right to know what’s in the food they buy. The biotech industry maintains GMOs pose no special risk and so labeling is unnecessary; The New York Times’ editorial board agrees. Labeling proponents counter that existing research studies on GMO safety are industry-conducted and inadequate; human health risks remain unknown. Labels will allow consumers to make informed decisions.
